Health care professionals dealing with craniofacial anomalies and genetic syndromes have a one-stop reference and care guideline resource in this comprehensive volume. From basic information on anatomy, physiology, and embryology of the face and oral cavity to details of speech, feeding, and prognoses, the information needed by speech-language pathologists and other caregivers is organized for fingertip access. In addition, surgical techniques are reviewed, along with information on prosthetic devices and the latest therapies. Cleft lip or palate is the fourth most common birth defect, affecting about one in every 750 children born in the US each year. This text for students in speech pathology and the medical and dental professions is a practical as well as theoretical guide to caring for people born with this anomaly. Sections cover normal and abnormal craniofacial features, problems associated with clefts and craniofacial anomalies, interdisciplinary care, and assessment and treatment procedures. The author is director of the speech pathology department at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
